Kardashian Discourses

Recently, the Twitter user @limesandsmiles wrote a tweet to @KimKardashian saying “FUNFACT U have the same amount of twitterfollowers as people in Holland! U have ur own little country.” Kardashian reposted the tweet and added her own commentary: “WOW.”

In fact, the population of the Netherlands is 16,730,632, while Kardashian’s follower count, at least right at this instant, is a mere 15,437,516. But if that number is still large enough to fill you with a feeling of dread, or if watching Kardashian’s number of followers jump from second to second feels like staring into the abyss, it’s best to remember that old saw: when the Internet closes a door, somewhere it opens a window.

The real Kardashian’s tweets are usually banal-chipper at best. Pairing them with aptly chosen comments from the Danish philosopher transforms them into reflective maxims on life, death, sin, and emptiness, salted with luxury accessories of the Kardashian lifestyle:

Glamour, menswear, top hat… I stick my finger into existence and it smells of nothing.
